@OnlyOne being a shill again. Wipe your mouth bro

 

[jones]

two examples are two kids who are exceptional talents and not 16, what about all Peps years before hand?

They're not exceptional come on. This is his list of debutants by league

Pep Guardiola - Debutants

Diese Statistik zeigt alle Debütanten des Trainers Pep Guardiola in der Premier League.

There's a lot of kids in there who never amounted to anything but showed promise at some point.

Arteta in four years has what, five academy kids who got 20 minutes each on average?

 

[2Smokeyy]

I can’t recall any of them actually playing for City though, how many senior appearances between them? Ihenacho only one.

Brahim Diaz actually played for them in the Carabao Cup and PL IIRC. Same with Palmer but unlike us City have clout and they’re rectifying it by actually giving them a chance here and there now.

Cole Palmer played a couple of games and they sold him for 42m

@OnlyOne spending all this time comparing Mikel to Pep as if Mikel has anywhere near the resume. Bro is doing tricks on it.

Crap stuff. I don’t need a list like that for you to tell City are all about youth, they’re not and we know this.

I’m just saying examples like Pep are stupid, City aren’t some club who love to promote youth.

People giving me examples of kids who played once and sold like it’s nothing

I’m just saying I think there’s a trend in football we’re kids aren’t getting games like we had today for some reason, Bayern and Real both full strength tonight.

People need to accept that we don’t have the same clout that sides like Real Madrid and Man City have.

When you’ve been winning for a while then teams automatically end up paying the premium for your players.

 

[dino bravo]

If only that were true, and our irrelevance saved us from acquiring fans like you. Would have been wonderful

By the way, fans like me have put thousands upon thousands into the club, and continue to support whatever the situation. We CLEARLY much need fans like yourself that want to sh!t on Arteta with us a point off the top of the league. Cheek when you have likely never set foot inside either stadium, and are probably not even an Arsenal supporter if truth be told.

Barca: Lamine Yamal (16)
Bayern: Mathys Tel (18)
City: Rico Lewis (18), Oscar Bobb (18)
PSG: Zaire-Emery (17)
United: Kobbie Manoo (18)
Newcastle: Lewis-Miley (17)
Dortmund: Bynoe-Gittens (19)
Benfica: Joao Neves (19)

I'm sure there are others that I'm forgetting, but a lot of the top clubs around Europe have given their kids minutes in the Champions League. The scary thing for me is that most of the aforementioned teams were in more precarious positions than we were tonight. Especially Newcastle, United, Dortmund and PSG. Arteta might be worse than a dictator because he shows all the hallmarks of a coward.

 

[BaZZe]

Man, seriously...

Saliba was bought for a relatively hefty fee and got his debut under Arteta. The Fabio Vieira transfer which happened under Arteta has a lot of similarities, similar fee, got their debut at a similar age. I guess the difference is Fabio didn't spend a couple of years on loan.

Feel free to point out if I've made any factual errors.

Nico Paz at Real Madrid is highly regarded as well

 

[AberGooner]

Would've loved to have seen Nwaneri obviously but the big one tonight for me would've been Walters. With the injuries racking up defensively it would've been nice to see if he could've been someone that could be relied upon to come in and do a job at either full back position.

 

[jones]

Crap stuff. I don’t need a list like that for you to tell City are all about youth, they’re not and we know this.

Nobody said they're all about youth, just that even a rich pampered piece of sh*t like Guardiola uses his academy more than Arteta.

I don't know how people still have the cheek to say anything. Against Lens it was "maybe the frustrated Frenchies will kick the kids" now even in a game that meant nothing to anyone the best he could do was 3 minutes for ESR.

I’m annoyed as well, I just see a trend in modern football. That’s all I said, same with City as well. Let’s see if they play any 16/17 year olds tomorrow.

 

[Riou]

Considering this was a dead match in terms of literally no stakes in any scenario, thought both teams did well...

Thought Nelson looked our best player, wish he was used more in the Prem as I think he's a good alternative to Martinelli.

Good goal from Eddie, quality touch from him to set it up.

Thought Ramsdale played well, and although he isn't an elite keeper I still wish he was playing over Raya.

And happy to see ESR back, hope he can stay fit.

...thought a draw was fair, well done to PSV for qualifying with us.

On to Sunday!

Oscar bobb is 20
But disappointing to not see the youngsters today

It’s really quite amusing when people make all kinds of assumptions about other people they know absolutely nothing about. At least I find it amusing because it takes a certain kind of idiot to be able to draw certain conclusions on the basis of absolutely no information whatsoever.

 

[Farzad]

That period of irrelevance includes 4 FA cups and a Cl final. Mik invented Arsenal apparently

 

[boxerumble]

Decent enough result. Players semi rested. Should’ve nicked it at the end.

Disappointed no minutes for Nwaneri, if you can’t Chuck him on today or when you’re 5-0 up against Lens, when do you play the lad? We’re out the Carabao Cup.

Think he’ll get a cameo in the dead rubber game at the end of the season when City and Liverpool are out of reach in the league
